Ember Gun

  Chapter 317 Chess Game

   "James Moriarty..."

  A voice rang from behind Anthony. This name made him a little happy, but also made him a little uneasy. Every time he heard it, it always reminded him of those cunning poisonous snakes.

   "Actually I have always been curious, where did you find this... weird lunatic."

  Samuel limped over with a cane. He looked embarrassed at the moment, with a bandage wrapped around his body and his face was pale.

He was hit head-on by a lacquered antimony flying knife and a bullet mixed with Cantrera. Fortunately, Samuel had already stimulated the power Yanar to the extreme, and the whole was approaching demonization, and the bullet missed a hit. Heart, Samuel was able to survive this violent explosion and poison.

But this is just barely alive. When the demon hunter dug him out of the collapsed ruins, his body was very strange. Life and death appeared on this body at the same time. At the same time as healed, the flesh and blood were caused by toxins. Necrosis.

  The short time was as difficult as **** for Samuel.

  Fortunately, with this powerful power, Samuel finally survived. Although he was a little embarrassed, his injury was quickly healed with the physique of a demon hunter, and he might be able to fight again in a few days.

   "I reminded you that Lorenzo Holmes is very dangerous, very dangerous. We still don't know what the effect of the false Holy Grail on him is. A rash attack will only cost us."

   Anthony turned his head and looked at his embarrassed deputy. He has always given people a sense of calm and calm, but at this moment his voice was slightly angry.

   "This operation lost three demon hunters. Fortunately, it was a dark chess we placed in advance. The cleansing agency did not know their existence."

  After the loss of "Revelation", every active demon hunter seems very precious, and their secret blood is the most precious treasure.

   "This has nothing to do with us, and we don't know why Lorenzo was there. This is a **** encounter." Samuel said.

  He just woke up from a coma and came here to report to Anthony about the action.

  "Encounter?"

   "Yes, we successfully invaded the premises where Shermans is located, but when I found Shermans, he was with Lorenzo..."

  "How did he find Shermans?" Anthony asked.

   "I don't know, but I think it should be related to that letter." Samuel analyzed that although he had only recently regained consciousness, he felt that the encounter was full of chance.

"Didn't we also find Shermans by relying on the letter with secret blood? Maybe that letter is more than just for us." Samuel said, "But what is important about Shermans?" A cardinal who has been in exile for a long time, even if he was on the edge of power in the place of seven hills, how can he suddenly take him seriously?"

For Samuel’s question, Anthony did not answer, but felt a bit tricky. This was directly derived from the order of the new pope. He needed Shermans to confirm something, although his question had been confirmed by the old pope. But Lorenzo's sudden contact with Shermans made Anthony suspicious.

  Who sent this letter?

The Protestant Mission does not know that the cleansing agency has already reached contact with Shermans. Now Lorenzo's sudden behavior caused him a little panic. According to the instructions of the new pope, Lorenzo is very likely to be Lorenzo. Zoe Medici, the mysterious and terrifying old man finally found a way to immortality.

  Perhaps everything he encountered with Lorenzo before, all he showed was just a disguise. For this guy who once led the golden age, Anthony felt pressured.

  Just like this hazy rain curtain, the unknown mist shrouded the old Dunling. Hunters and monsters walked on the streets of the city together, preparing to kill each other at the moment of meeting.

   "Our plan has already started, after you adjust, there will be new instructions to communicate to you."

  Anthony said to Samuel.

   "Moriarty's plan?"

  Samur mentioned this disturbing name again.

   "You actually agree with what that lunatic did..."

Samuel knew that his words could not change much, he was just talking about it. He felt that he was a sick guy, but compared to Moriarty, Samuel’s illness could be cured. Kind.

  But that guy is different.

  "Although Moriarty is sometimes uncontrollable, at least, he can indeed bring miraculous effects." Anthony said slowly.

"So where did he come from? When I was in the Templar Knights, I didn't see him, and his sword skills were really bad." Samuel was a little curious. Basically all the Demon Hunters in the Protestant Order It comes from the Knights of the Templar, but Moriarty is different.

  "He was selected by Mianxia, ​​a person who can make Mianxia feel interesting." Anthony said.

  He didn't understand these at first, and didn't understand what qualifications such a person has to become a demon hunter, until Moriarty showed his own weird talent like him.

  The talent of fraud.

Father Anthony is the confidant of the new Pope. In the eyes of the exiles, it was his sudden defection that made the Templar Knights who had been loyal to the cardinals rebellious and made the new Pope usurp all power overnight. That luxurious crown.

But in fact Anthony is very clear that all this is just the words of those exiles to comfort themselves. He is not the key to all this. Even if he is not rebellious, there will be another Anthony betraying the cardinals. The truth of all this is new. The intimidating power of the Pope, as the demon hunter named Raphael, is the manipulator of the illusion, and everyone is played by him like a puppet.

Moriarty was given the same power as the new pope. This is not just a so-called trust, but the new pope feels that this power can be used perfectly by him. To some extent, they are the same liar. Defrauded the divine crown, one defrauded the sanity of others.

   "You don't seem to like Moriarty, don't you often say that you are similar?" Anthony asked.

   "Similar does not mean the same, Father."

   Samuel was a little reluctant to recall the lunatic, and said calmly.

   "The more similar we are, the more we know each other, right? Just like two people who have the same preferences, we know how to please each other, but when similar are two monsters?"

  Samuel watched Anthony's gradually changing expression, and slowly said why he was afraid of Moriarty.

"Two monsters that meet each other in a narrow path, what would you think if it were you? Is this my kind, hugging it ecstatically? Or because of the similarity, you also know what kind of terrible monster the other party is, and feel Vigilance and fear?"

   Samuel walked aside with a cane and sat down in a chair.

   "In fact, the above thinking is normal, but Moriarty is different. I admit that I am not very normal. I am obsessed with the **** sense of victory and accomplishment, but I am just a little bit paranoid, but I am not a lunatic.

  There is a difference between a paranoid and a lunatic, priest. "

   "You seem to know him better than I do." Anthony said.

  "This is natural. We are similar but different. I can understand his part, but I can't pry into that crazy place."

  Anthony was silent for a while. There were only two of them in the huge study room, which seemed a bit empty, with countless materials piled up on his desk.

   "So you found Moriarty from a mental hospital?"

   Samuel’s voice rang again, he seemed to be very curious about Moriarty’s origins and kept asking.

   "I don't know." Anthony said.

   "You don't know?"

  Samur's voice seemed a little excited.

   "He was brought by the crown, what right do you think I have to intervene more?"

   Anthony's eyes were also a little helpless, looking at Samuel, who was covered in bandages, he continued.

   "However, he is really disturbing. Sometimes I don't know what he will do, but Mian Xia has a high opinion of him, saying that he is a person who will give people ‘surprise joy’."

"The so-called unexpected joy is uncontrollable, right? I was with him during training. He chopped off a demon hunter's hand muscles. He just thought it was very interesting. Someone wanted to teach him a lesson, but he used Power sent that guy into the psychiatric ward. You should know this too, right?

When the demon hunter stimulates the secret blood, the will of the demon hunter is always subjected to the test of erosion. Power Raphael can implant a beautiful illusion to stabilize the will, and it can also bring extreme madness... that The Demon Hunter was eroded by the secret blood in the chaotic chaos and fell into madness. "

Samuel recalled the time of training. At that time, the new pope urgently needed a group of demon hunters to fight for him. The secret blood was extracted from the dead demon hunters, and then injected into the body of the screened. , And the Protestant Order was born on the dead.

   "And this is the peculiarity of Moriarty, Father."

"what?"

  Samuel carefully recalled that it was the only few times he had dealt with Moriarty, and those few times, which made him completely unable to understand this person.

"I thought he was a kind of pervert, he likes to see others crazy, to see others suffering, likes to take pleasure in these sufferings, then it is very simple to please this monster. I found a few death row prisoners for him to have fun. It affected other demon hunters, but he refused."

"Refused?"

   "Yes, I refused. I thought it would be a very interesting "toy" for him, but he refused. He thought it was boring to torture a group of death row prisoners..."

  Samur's voice was trembling, not fear, but puzzled.

  "For him, he really likes the suffering of others, but there is a premise, the premise is the suffering experienced by people he finds interesting.

  But he is a crazy, madman with perverted habits, how can we infer the preferences of such a person? "

Everyone has their own purpose and direction, but Moriarty alone feels like a poisonous snake advancing at will. The golden beauty can't seduce him, but he will be full of motivation because of some strange places. .

   "At least, Moriarty can distinguish between his hobbies and work. The plan he put forward is very good, and he only started to implement it after he gave his approval."

  Anthony picked up the water glass and took a sip. Knowing the stories that happened before, he was still so calm.

   "So what is the plan?"

"Lorenzo Holmes, he is suspected to be Lorenzo Medici, and he can be sure that he is carrying a false Holy Grail. He is an extremely dangerous guy. If he fights hard, he will be wiped out. Against, and he himself is very aggressive."

  "Separate the two? Make the cleaning agency find a way to abandon Lorenzo?"

  This is not a difficult puzzle, Samuel thought of it easily.

   "Is that so?"

  Anthony nodded, it seems that this plan has been carried out in an orderly manner.

"But that's not enough," Samuel recalled the figure wielding the sword in the wine cellar. "Although the contact time is not long, I don't think these are enough to defeat him, let alone that he is suspected of Lorenzo Mei. The strangest."

As a Fei Lengcui, Samuel is very familiar with the deeds of Lorenzo Medici. The old man's life was only lost to time, and after so many years, he seems to have come back to life in a young body. , In the final turn of the chess game.

  No, he has not completely won the time. The Protestant Religion and the new Pope will not let him off so easily, even if they are suspected.

   "So there are some plans that only sick people like Moriarty can propose."

   Anthony said at this time, his attitude is very interesting, he seems to have always treated all this from the perspective of a bystander, but he is obviously the head of the Protestant Order and the representative of Fei Lengcui.

   "Lorenzo Holmes is a strong stubborn iron, but sometimes there is no need to destroy it with great force, as long as there are cracks inside."

   "Can he do it?"

   Samuel was very worried about the uncontrollable Moriarty. He was like a restless lamb, always ready to knock the shepherd to the ground.

   "I don't know, but am I here?"

  Anthony smiled, and with his smile, the hideous scar also moved, like a centipede clinging to the skin.

  "We are all chess pieces under the crown. They are located on this chessboard called Old Dunling. Different classes see different things, Samuel."

This action can be said to be done in accordance with Moriarty’s ideas. Anthony’s existence has no meaning at all. In fact, Samuel is aware of this, but Anthony is also the headmaster in his position, and Samuel did not dare to rashly. Questioned him.

  "You are only aware of the enemies in front of you, but what about the potential ones?"

   Anthony said and picked up the letter, the letter that triggered a series of events before. This letter was only read by Anthony. It was also after reading this letter that the hunt for Shermans was made.

  It is a little different from the letter Lorenzo got. There is an extra paragraph in this letter.

   "Lorenzo Holmes is suspected of Lorenzo Medici."

  Anthony can be sure that this letter is definitely not from a cleansing organ. On this chessboard called Jiu Dunling, there is another player who has not shown up, a player that everyone ignores.

  He has the secret blood, and he also knows the "immortality" of Lorenzo Medici. After meditation, Anthony can only draw one conclusion.

  This letter comes from the remnant party of Lawrence.

   "What do you want to do?"

  Anthony is the person who presides over all this and is the chess player entrusted by the new pope to the old Dunling. It is not Lorenzo Holmes that he wants to hunt, but the greatest benefit the Protestant group can get in the old Dunling.

  This benefit can be Lorenzo Holmes and the false Holy Grail on him, or it can be Lawrence’s remnant party, the missing "Apocalypse."

  ……

   "So that neurosis has begun?"

  Looking at Lawrence who had just recovered from the seat, the epidemic doctor asked.

  Lawrence had just escaped from the [Gap] and shuttled, his face showed a little pain of split consciousness. After a period of relief, he nodded, and there was a hint of approval in his words.

   "I didn't expect the new pope to find such a talent, no, lunatic."

   "It seems that their plan is perfect, so perfect that you think it's good." The epidemic doctor said.

   "Yeah, it's a pity that they have never noticed that they have been targeted by me."

As Lawrence spoke, he recalled the child’s face, a little cowardly, a little inner, but also a little crazy. The encounter at Whitechapel at that time was deliberate by Lawrence. He wanted to start with Sieg to counter Lorenzo. , It's a pity that this chess piece was not used.

   But I also thank these, so that this chess piece burns ablaze today, so that Lawrence can easily intervene in it.
